In the ashes of the fallen United States, the New American Order has seized power, silencing dissent and enslaving the vulnerable. To stop the spread of their evil, Sophia Reeves has given everything to the Defiance, a resistance force battling the NAO, but now, her general has another command: become a contact for an enemy officer-turned-spy. She understands the sacrifice this order requires. Association with a Blood Colonel is a death sentence—especially for a woman.

In Wyoming, a little girl reads people’s darkest secrets. In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion. In Chicago, a woman can go invisible.

Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists. His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war. But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in.

Mit Sonnenfinsternis, einem Klassiker der politischen Literatur, zuerst erschienen 1940, erzählt Arthur Koestler (1905 - 1983) beispielhaft die Mechanismen totalitärer und diktatorischer Systeme. Er reißt Ihnen die Maske herunter: unmenschliche Ideologie hinter vordergründig menschenfreundlicher Ideologie. Lüge und Mord zur Machterhaltung. Sonnenfinsternis führt vor, dass niemand totalitärer Macht entkommen kann. Arthur Koestler hatten die stalinistischen Schauprozesse für diese Mechanismen die Augen geöffnet.

With his experience providing security to the rich and terrible, Truth accepts a gig as Merkovah's bodyguard. What better way for Truth to grow as a mage?
